Smile Half shaft help

I own a 1997 Honda Accord SE straight 4 automatic and am going to replace the half shafts for the first time. I have never done this before and would like some advice if not a step by step procedure so I can do it right.

Remove axle nut and lower ball joint crown nut. Remove the two 10mm head bolts holding the brake line to the knuckle. Pop the lower ball joint, swing the kunckle assembly off the axle and move it out of the way. Pop axle out of trany with pry bar. Install new axel making sure that it is seated in the transmission. Reinstall the rest in the reverse it was removed. Axle nut torque is 181ft lbs., I think the lower ball joint crown nut is around 55ft lbs. don't forget to install a new cotter pin.

Thank you both for the help. I will get on replacing those right away. Thanks for moving the post, I'm new and didn't know where else to go.

See what you can find on YouTube. I've found lots of helpful info there.
